During an interview with WRAT radio station, lead vocalist Chad Kroeger spoke about the lyrical inspiration for “San Quentin”, saying: “I met the San Quentin prison warden at a party. And I couldn’t believe how young he was. I was, like, ‘There’s just no way that you’re the warden of San Quentin,’ and everyone was, like, ‘Yup. He is.’ Guy Fieri’s a buddy of mine, and I was at his birthday party a few years back. And the entire time we were talking, I’m speaking to this guy, but in my head all I could think about was, ‘I’m gonna write a song called 'San Quentin’. That’s it.‘ And I stuck it in my notes in my phone. And then once the riff was down, I think I screamed out this line, 'Can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?’ And we just took it from there.”

In this episode of Season Zero, we take a look back at the original Siri Watu Concept executed in a 3D proof of concept. The idea never really went beyond this clip, as we were ill-equipped 10 years ago to know where to take this clip once we made it. Since then, Cape Town and South Africa have begun making interesting animated projects; I work to eventually make Siri Watu one of these great projects.")
